Horoeka House’s name is derived from the New Zealand native Horoeka tree, Pseudopanax crassifolius, or Lancewood. The Horoeka tree has two very different life stages. As a young plant its thin spindle trunk is protected by jagged saw-tooth leaves. These unusual leaves are said to have evolved to protect the young plants from grazing Moa, which is an extinct colossal sized flightless gazing bird unique to Aotearoa. As the Horoeka tree matures past the grazing height of Moa, it begins to grow branches and eventually transforms into a forest giant.
